Question

Intro
Hi,

I have thousands of pdf files but all pages has a lot of Spots. I want to remove spot from white area of the page. I don't want to use photoshop for this work. Because its take lot of time. Is there any way to remove spots form white area of pdf pages through Adobe Acrobat? I am sending you a page of my pdf as image for example. Please help me.  

Answer
Sorry Dhananjay,

Acrobat doesn't have any tools that edit images in that way.

You could try setting up a specific crop that could crop out the unwanted areas.

Open the pdf, choose Document -> Crop. Add more or less to the areas you want cropped out. It will show you a small preview of your page when doing this.

You can also see the guides on the page by turning them on in the Preferences under Show Art, Crop, Trim boxes.

Other than that, you need to use something like Photoshop.

Thanks,

Ken Black
